We follow the MLH Code of Conduct, and we expect you to do the same.

Your team can be up to four (4) registered CXC AI Hackathon participants. You must submit a general summary of your project, as well as all written code (e.g. in the form of a Github link) for judging. Your submission must also include a short demo video (~3 minutes) explaining your project.

You may plan in advance, but all code must be written between February 6th at 9:00 PM EST and 9:00 AM EST on February 8th, 2026.

Your Github project repo must be public and remain public in order to be considered. If your submission is not public, you will not be eligible to win. Your project must also ONLY be submitted to CXC AI Hackathon. If your submission is found to have been submitted to more than one hackathon, it will be immediately disqualified. 

You may use online libraries or open-source code, but you can not take someone else's work without their permission or plagiarise in any way.

Organizers reserve the right to amend these rules and disqualify submissions for any reason at any time. Judging decisions are considered final and disputes will not be accepted.
